I'm finalizing all the paperwork to start an inclusive homeschool resource center. Essentially, it will be a place for homeschoolers and their parents to gather - to hold classes and events, to provide support for new homeschool parents, and to share ideas. There will also be a curriculum lending library. Ultimately, the various co-ops will be able to reserve space to use.
Just as a backstory, I've been homeschooling for 8 years now. I ran our local homeschool group, until I stepped down in May. I've had lots of experience in organizing activities/events, I've taught classes, and I'm the go-to person in this part of the state for homeschool related inquiries. We've been using a couple of rooms in our local Boys and Girls Club, but there's something odd going on with their floor of the building they are in and rumors of inappropriate actions involving a supervisor and a young girl. I'm not sure if we will be able to use the space anymore. I've found a new place, but it's $650 a month. I can get donations/grants/etc. if I have an official business.
Anyway, back to the resource center. I need a name and I'm drawing blanks. Some suggestions have been "WV Homeschool Resource Center" (boring), "More Than The Kitchen Table" (and variations thereof, but sounds like a design firm), "The Homeschool Socialization Organization" (kind of funny, but then again, not), and "Everywhere Learning Homeschool Resource Center" (I kind of like this one, but not completely sold on it).
How do you decide on a name that isn't lame or too generic, too wordy or too cheesy?

Resource center sounds like something for the parent/teacher than a space for the kids/family to gather and use. Maybe something with enrichment or event center in the name?

What about Homeschool Hub? It's short, to the point, catchy and it indicates that it's a central location where resources are available. I'm always a fan of shorter names that paint a clear picture of what the organization does. Hope this helps!

Don't underestimate boring. If you want people to find you when they're searching, you want a name that tells them what you do. I have two businesses. Melbourne Shopping Experiences and Show Me Melbourne. Melbourne Shopping Experiences consistently higher in search results because it's closer to the terms people use when searching. Or that's my understanding of the reasoning anyway!

Ours here in Arizona is called Covenant Homeschool Resource Center and it’s similar to what you describe.
It’s descriptive and to the point. So I think you’re on the right track with the Resource Center name.
